Reasons to use a credit union. People should be moving away from all these banks that essentially only abuse people on every level and move toward cooperative financial institutions. Alternatively, better banks like Aspiration, which is a B Corp, but I wouldn't put all my money on that. |

Reasons to use some credit unions. Just as there are good banks and bad banks there are good credit unions and bad credit unions.
When I wanted to buy my first house, I called the biggest local credit union to find out what the process would be like. Nobody would speak to me on the phone until I went to their web site and filled out a "pre-qualification" form that would then decide if I would be given a different phone number to call and speak to someone to set up an appointment to meet someone in person.
No thanks. I took my real money to a real bank.
